I used to buy dells, but I hate them. I have an Acer now, which works much better.

HP for my main laptop, though my netbook is an Asus and I like it a lot.

My laptop is a toshiba, and I love it. I had an HP one before, and had nothing but problems with it.

My son's Alienware laptop is very cool. Dell bought them a few years ago but keep the line alive and ass-kick'n

I have 2 HP laptops right now and love them. I personally prefer the Pavilion line. I'm the IT person for the small company I work for (I wear several hats) and we've tried Acers and had nothing but hard drive failures, power supply failures, and one fried motherboard. Gateways were my favorite but they sold off their small business division so I don't have a current opinion on them. Dell has not been bad to us but it seems we go through them faster than the HP's. They just don't have the lifespan, especially considering that they're all treated the same. The only thing I can recommend better are the Panasonic Toughbooks - we have 4, one of them being about 6 years old now and we've never had a single problem with any of them despite what our field guys put them through. They run about $4k though so it's obviously not an option for everyone plus they're huge and clunky.

I've had two laptops ever, a tiny Sony Vaio and this Dell something or other. I know that it's pink and was one of the last models to come with XP, which I wanted over Vista. The only reason I got the Dell was because I needed something that could handle running AutoCad, and my tiny Sony couldn't because it was so small. This Dell has been my daily computer since I started working here in January, so I'm happy with how it's worked out for me so far.

Gateway is what was available at the Geek Shop where they build them and sell them. It works pretty well, but I'm sure could be better since it's an older version.

I own three Dells. A E1505 Laptop that I've had since 2006 that is still trucking along, A 530 Desktop that is currently out of commission due to a blown power supply unit, and then I keep a Mini 12 at my brother's apartment for entertainment when I'm babysitting my nephew while he's napping or something.
Needless to say I like Dell, and I'm satisfied with their equipment and service (They've always fixed any issues I've had with my E1505 that suffered LCD hinges breaking under normal use.)
I've owned a Sony VAIO as well, as I liked Sony products in general... However, the Vaio gave me lots of issues, first the LCD hinges broke on that due to poor design, and THEN turns out the graphics card chip in it was faulty and no-one said anything (Sony or NVIDIA) til years later when a lawsuit or something dropped... My card melted. I technically wasn't one of the affected models, but I had the chip that was faulty in it, so Sony was nice enough to hon or the fact that I had the affected model chip and replaced it for free.
Sadly that computer is out of commission now because the hinge is breaking...
I have trouble with LCD hinges yeah? It's because I've used laptops that have the old design of hinges, nowadays it's just one long roll-like hinge.
MOVING ON, I also own a CR-48, which is the test laptops that Google had a test program going last year. Now they have the Chromebooks out.

I'm a Apple user! Macbook Air at home, Macbook Pro and Mac Pro at work, iPad, iPhone on the go.

I have a Mac. I love it, but PCs have their place too. If I had the money for another computer, I'd get a PC for gaming.
11/04/2011
I assemble my own desktop computers rather than buying any prebuilt brand-name computers.
11/04/2011
For PCs, I like HPs. But I'd like to have a Mac one day though. Used to have a Dell but it was a POS.

HP all the way.

I had one HP one that was pretty old, and then I bought another just a month ago. Within two days, I had so many problems with it. I just returned it for this Toshiba. There is a chance, however, that I've just had bad luck.

I have a modified HP. Some parts in it are still the originals, but I have put in a few new parts.

-nods- Yeah. I got a Dell for Christmas years ago, my dad had a business account with them, so he got a good discount. Well, it lasted quite a while and then after normal college kid use, it just pooped out and totally fried. My mom has the exact same one I had, too, but hers still works perfectly fine.

But, I got an HP Pavillion as my second one (current) and I love it. I love the support and I love the way it's set up. I did have some problems with it a few months back, but it was related to a possible virus/trojan that I picked up. I was able to just completely restore it and it works just fine now. I've had it for I want to say... going on three years now?

I have an HP Blackbird that I originally got for gaming and a MacBook Pro laptop. I'm happy with both for the most part.
